Chapter eleven

Matthias’s POV After spending a little over an hour enjoying ourselves, Violet and I collapsed on the bed and slept off immediately. I managed to cover our body with the duvet before I finally closed my eyes tightly and gave in to sleep. “Uhmmm”, I groaned as I opened my eyes slowly, the morning light slipping in through the window that was opened slightly. I stretched my hand to my phone that was placed carefully on the drawer beside the bed and picked it up. I switched it on with my eyes slightly closed because of the impact of the sleep but then the sleep in my eyes cleared off immediately I saw the time. “Christ, wake up Violet”, I snapped and tapped Violet thrice beside me. I stood up and sat properly on the bed. “Uhmmm”, Violet groaned beside me as she rubbed her eyes with her fingers sleepily. “What time is it?” she murmured, with her eyes slightly closed. “It's a few minutes past six now and we have to be in the lab by seven, there are still a lot of reports to complete toda

Chapter twelve

Matthias’s POV I entered the lab at exactly seven am and I met my workers in the lab already doing their work. Seeing that alone made me grateful for the kind of staff I have and a large appeared on my face because I could stop it. “Good morning everyone”, I greeted jovially and pulled out my chair to drop my chair on it. “Good morning boss”, they all replied with the same tone and I nodded slightly before settling down on my chair. Since today is Friday and we have done a lot of work during the week, I have to review the reports of the work that we have done. I searched through my table and discovered that the weekly reports haven't been dropped here. “What is all this?” I muttered and rested my face in my palms as I tried to put my emotions under control. “We have had a great week so far, just overlook this one”, I thought to myself and raised my head up to call the person in charge of the reports. “Sofia….. Sofia”, I called softly and she turned back to look at me. “I need you her

Chapter thirteen

Matthais’s POV “We are so sorry for coming late everyone….. we spent the night together and we woke up later than usual”, Ivy said and my fist tightened. I instantly forgot the reason that caused the confusion in the research hall initially and my gaze was Ivy’s hand. She was holding Caleb’s hand so tight that it felt like if she released his hand for just a second, she would have to spend years before she would get hold of it again. “Matthias… what is this about?” Sofia’s voice interrupted my thoughts and the anger slowly building up in me as I stared at Ivy’s and Caleb’s interlocked hands. I shifted my gaze to Sofia reluctantly and sighed slowly as the realization of what I just saw dawned on me. “I can’t explain that either. What they just posted is the same thing we have been working on for months now”, I muttered and sat down on my chair slowly. “That only means there is an intruder on this island”, I added. “How is that even possible?” Sofia wondered and handed over the phone t

Chapter fourteen

Ivy’s POV Meet me in the storage room now. I stared at my phone over and over again, trying to think of who the message could be from. “Uhmm… who is this?”, I muttered and assumed a more comfortable position so that I would be able to reply to the text. “What are you still doing there Ivy?”, a strict and familiar voice said behind me and I flinched. I turned back immediately and I saw Sofia standing beside me, looking more firm than she looked earlier. “Uhn… what…. do …..what do you mean?” I stammered and blacked severally as I tried to understand what she meant by that. “Do you want me to follow you to do something for you?”, I asked as I faced her properly. My reply seemed to trouble Sofia because instead of replying to me, she rested her hand on her forehead like someone that has been going through a lot of stress or someone that is thinking of a perfect reply to give to an unserious person. “Am I missing something here?” I muttered and she scoffed as she raised her head to fac

Chapter fifteen

Ivy’s POV “Heyyy”, I heard a loud and harsh voice deep from my sleep. “Stand up, Ivy”, the voice said again. “Hmmmm”, I moaned and pouted my lips because I am still enjoying my moment with Matthias. “What?”, I groaned and opened my eyes slowly. “Where is he?”, I muttered. “What are you talking about?”, the voice said again and this time, I opened my eyes properly. “Ahhhh”, I screamed when I saw Sofia standing beside the bed I was sleeping on. I rubbed my eyes with my hands severely and scanned the room to see if Matthais is standing or even sitting down anywhere but the room was empty. “What are you looking for?”, she asked and smirked. “Noth ... .I…. Nothing”, I stammered and placed my forehead on my palm. “Shit…it was a dream”, I thought and clamped my fingers together.“What are you doing here?”I asked and smiled widely before standing up from the bed. “Do you want anything?” I asked again and sat down on one of the chairs in the room. “I am here to collect the report I asked

Chapter sixteen

Ivy’s POV “Matthais….Hmmmm”, the voice said again and I froze. “That sounds familiar”, I muttered and moved closer to the door. I held the door knob for about a second to see if the voice would come again and it did. “My goodness…what is going on there?’, I muttered and as I pushed the door to open it, I was interrupted. “What are you doing here, Ivy?”I heard Sofia’s voice behind me and I closed my eyes in frustration. “What is she doing here?”, I thought and turned back slowly with a smile on my face. “Nothing…. I was just trying to see what the room looks like since there are numerous rooms here”, I said with a forced smile on my face. “Tskkk”, Sofia scoffed, “leave that place and get something to eat before going back to work”, she said and I nodded. “I’m waiting for you”, she said again and I blinked severally. “Hmmm”, I made a sound and stretched my neck forward. “I….am….waiting for you to leave”, she said and I left the place. “Shit…she made me miss an opportunity to talk to

Chapter seventeen

Matthias’s POV “What the hell”, I muttered when I heard Caleb’s confession to Ivy. I have listened to and watched the drama that has been going on with Ivy since morning. From her lateness into the research lab to Sofia calling her to save her from me and to her cries to something I don’t know but I wish to know and then to this loud confession from Caleb. “Is he sick in the head?”, I muttered and scoffed angrily even when I didn’t plan to. “What are you talking about? What do you mean?”, I heard Ivy’s shaky voice and I turned back to see Caleb still holding her. “Let me go”, she squeezed her face and tried to be free from his hold but Caleb held her tighter. “I don’t care about what you have to say Ivy… I love you and that is final”, Caleb said again and I smirked. “Love?...bullshit”, I thought and without thinking twice, I strolled over to where they were standing. “What is going on here?”, I said when I got to where they were standing. “Let her go”, I added strictly and Ivy winc

Chapter eighteen

Ivy’s POV “What?”, Matthias screamed and rushed out of the room. “What do we do now?”I asked and ran after him, trying to keep up with his pace. “Let’s get into the lab first”, he replied and like that, we entered the lab together. Murmurs and noise filled the hall from different angles. “What is the plan now?”Matthias asked Sofia and they both settled down on Sofia’s chair to check the news on the internet. “This is exactly what we have been working on”, Matthias muttered as he scrolled through the information Sable Point released on their handle. “Exactly!!”, Sofia said and banged her fist on the table. “How did they get our idea without missing a thing”, she added and rubbed her face with her hands in frustration. “It is possible”, a voice said behind us and we turned to see one of the lab workers standing with his arms akimbo. “It is possible if we have a spy among us”, he added and Matthias nodded. “That is true but we have all been working together for so long ... .I don’t

Chapter nineteen

Ivy’s POV “Dad”, I called and tears dropped from my eyes. “I want you back home”, he said and I cleaned the tears that dropped from my eyes. “What… did you just say?”, I asked and sat up on the bed I was lying down on. “You heard me right…”, he said and paused for a while, “... I want you back home”, he added and I chuckled. “That must be a joke right… or… probably a prank”, I said amidst my laughter but I stopped laughing when the line went silent. “You can’t be serious dad”, I muttered and stood up. “I love it here and I am not leaving”, I slammed and he cleared his throat at the other end of the call. “Uhmm…. Ivy… For your information, I do not care about your interest or opinion”, he said and I frowned. “Even when…uhmm… I sent you there, I never cared about your interest and now…. I want you back home and just like I sent you there… I won’t care about your interest”, he slammed and I chuckled. “You time is up…. I want you back home”, he finalized and I sighed heavily with my e

Chapter twenty

Matthias’s POV“Hmmm”, I groaned as the ray of light slipped in through the window. I squeezed my eye as I groaned and tried to stand up but I was interrupted. “Uhn”, I exclaimed and saw Ivy’s head placed on my chest carefully as she slept soundly. “Cute”, I chuckled and used my hand to arrange her already scattered hair and that disrupted her sleep. “Good morning, Mat”, she muttered sleepily and used her hand to trace my chest. “Hmm, Ivy… W-What are you trying to do?”, I asked and she chuckled. “What do you think I am trying to do?”, she asked and I hissed. “Get up and let’s get ready for today’s work”, I muttered and tried to stand up but she pulled me back. “What?”I laughed heartily and fell back on the bed loudly. “Don’t forget about my dad, he told me he will send someone to take me away from this place”, she said and I relaxed. “I promised to talk to him and I will make sure I do that”, I said and she smiled. “Thank you!”She screamed and hugged me tightly on the bed. “Hmmm…..
